Answer

Yes, the number is in scientific notation.

Work Step by Step

A number in scientific notation is written as the product of two factors in the form $a×10^n$, where $n$ is an integer and $1\leq |a| <10$.
The number $9.54\times10^{15}$ meets both of these criteria, as $9.54$ is between $1$ and $10$, and $15$ is an integer.
